What you'll do

Docusign is looking for Senior Software Engineers to join our development team in San Francisco. This position will be part of a team working on Docusign's Unified Experiences. The team is focused on delivering reusable end-customer experiences to internal DocuSign teams and external developer experiences, including related App Model configurations. A key area of focus for this team is building and integrating secure, scalable Identity Verification (IDV) experiences and APIs that power how customers verify identities as part of their agreement workflows.  

 

This position requires strong critical thinking skills, the ability to quickly understand existing systems, and experience working in agile environments. The individual will primarily be building for developers, so an understanding of the developer ecosystem and empathy for developers are important. You will collaborate closely with product, security, and platform teams to design IDV flows, integrate with IDV providers, and ensure that identity data is handled securely and compliantly. If you have these qualities and a passion for building high-quality experiences that make it easier for customers to manage their agreement and identity verification processes, we’d love to talk to you.  

 

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Manager, Software Engineering.
